We learned some great techniques tonight and I really am ready to get going on a fun project. The quilt I spent the entire spring and summer on is gone as of 4 days ago and I am ready for something new, but not so big!!
Well, come to think of it, I have a few projects in my closet that really need to get done. I better do at least one of them first.
This picture here was taken in April at the Utah Home Machine Quilting Show. They asked quilters to participate in a Design Challenge to help raise $ for the American Heart Association. 7 of us from our guild decided to do it. We were given the fabric (UHHGGG!) and a bunch of rules and this is what we came up with. YEAH! We won the Design Challenge, $500, and donated the quilt to be auctioned off for the the AHA. It is hard to see, but all the flowers are 3-D, very cool! It was fun to get together and make it while rubbing shoulders with great quilters. Okay, I think I better add that I am chubby, but I shouldn't have stood next to my skinny-bum friend because that really makes me look even worse!
I took this picture at the same show and decided it would be my next project. What do you think? Geez, I am kidding!
This is a horrible picture, but the quilt is cute and I think I would like to make one like this. It had all these cute blocks incorporated into it and I just thought it was cute. I took this picture last week at a quilt show at Thanksgiving Point. This is more my style!

Yes Hello Debbie! You need to get on the blogging bandwagon!
Rachel...I wish I could sew half as good as you! You've seen my sad attempts at sewing! I still have a Christmas runner to finish! Maybe I'll attempt it again :)
Rachel, hows the donkey?
The qulit you all made looks fantastic,,,, (i won't use the supercali-fragilisitic word), and your butt is fine,,,,,, very fine!
Donkey?? Does this have anything to do with my aunt Barbara? I am a little dense you know.
Brittany, I saw your perfect corners, so stop it!!
And yes, Debbie did visit! Yeah!!
Thanks for the vote of love mom.
Barbara? (as in the aunt Barbara i know?),,,,,, Whats up with the donkey and you two??? whoooooo hooooooo!
Okay, I got the donkey business figured out. My anonymous friend was referring to me referring to my sweet husband as a donkey the other day in church (long story, but a nice one) and anyway, I thought it might be one of my Aunt Barbara's kids commenting because I made her a WANTED poster about stealing donkeysat the family reunion. Long story, sorry. You have had it Richy Rich!!
